Today, let's talk about the American movie "Annabelle 2: Birth".
The film title Annabelle: Creation (2017), alias Annabelle: Creation (Taiwan) / Annabelle: Creation (Hong Kong) / Annabelle 2: Creation.
During Halloween, it is natural to watch horror movies to match the holiday spirit.
After the first "Annabelle" expanded the "Conjuring" cinematic universe, a sequel was soon on the agenda. The first film was turned from a photographer to a director. The horror effect is relatively general. Apart from using a lot of lens language to create effects, there is actually not much content to watch.
The second one tells the story of the birth of the ghost doll Annabelle, replaced by director David F. Sandberg, whose horror film resume is the most dazzling is "Lights Out" (2016), a film that relies on One idea propped up the entire horror movie.
In general, the directors who can rely on horror films are a bit powerful. They have their own understanding of scaring the audience. The second film has more horror elements than the first film.
The content of "Annabelle 2" is the same as the title, about the birth of the ghost doll Annabelle.
In order to be able to see the deceased daughter again, the middle-aged couple who lost their daughter took the initiative to sign a contract and sold their soul to the devil in exchange for the body of a daughter possessed by the devil. In the process of getting along with the deceased daughter, the couple discovered that the returned daughter of the deceased was actually a demon, so they called the community priest in time and sealed the ghost doll Annabelle.
More than ten years later, a group of seven nuns and orphans came to live here.
So the demon began to fulfill the contract, took away the souls of the couple one by one, and scare the irrelevant people away.
After the demon appeared, it did not show people in a positive image, but relying on dim lights and swaying figures to set off the image from the side, maintaining a sense of mystery and maintaining its terrifying feeling.
In the whole movie, the devil may be the most contractual existence. When humans and demons sign a contract to sell their souls, there may be elements of coaxing and temptation, but the final signing is still a voluntary process. Afterwards, the demons also maintained consistency when they claimed their lives, and only took away the souls who signed the contract. Those who accidentally ran into the haunted house suffered some skin injuries at most.
The more unknown and mysterious things are, the more they can give people a sense of fear.
In the wilderness, the unlucky people clearly know that a demon will come to harm them, but the demon has no concrete entity, and they all use local materials, relying on various farmhouse objects to slowly approach themselves, thinking about it is enough. It's no wonder that many people are afraid of the dark. The dark place is full of unknowns. Who knows if something new will pop out of it.
The biggest role of "Annabelle 2" in the plot is to explain the origin of the ghost doll Annabel.
Looking at the problem from the perspective of a couple who are longing for a girl, the film is full of human brilliance, and parents can give their children unreservedly. In horror films, the couple carries the warmth of their daughters, which is also a heartwarming place in horror films.
From the devil's point of view, the film is a process of strictly fulfilling the contract and contract. The devil used a bloody method to enforce the contract against Lao Lai.
Demons will use every opportunity to tempt human beings, but this is an external cause, and those who voluntarily sign and sell their souls are the internal cause. Knowing that the devil is pervasive, and deliberately giving the devil an opportunity, it is no wonder that the devil has come to do evil.
In both works, Annabelle adopts the same routine, seduces human beings to sell their souls through fantasy, and deceives human souls when people are mentally broken down.
As a big easter egg, a photo of the ghost nun also appeared in "Annabelle 2", and the ghost nun also appeared in the end credits.
The ghost nun is also an important part of the "Conjuring" movie universe, and "The Nun" (2018) was released as scheduled a year after "Annabelle 2". It's just that the film uses a lot of scaring elements commonly used in horror films, and the overall horror feeling is not strong.
The plot of "Ghost Nun" is connected with "The Conjuring 1", which also enriches the content of the "Conjuring" movie universe. The Warrens also appeared on the stage. The only regret is that Marilyn Manson was not invited to play the role.
You are my sunshine,
My only sunshine.
